Fig. 1From: Hepatitis B surface gene variants isolated from blood donors with overt and occult HBV infection in north eastern EgyptAlignment of amino acid sequences of the HBV partial surface gene encompassing the “a” determinant region isolated from cases with overt HBV infection a and from cases with occult HBV infection b. The detected sequences were aligned with respect to a consensus sequence of HBV genotype D retrieved from DDBJ/GenBank database. Dots in alignment indicate identity with the consensus sequence of genotype D. First and second loop positions are underlined in the consensus sequence of the genotypeBack to article page
